Presumably the first from the media village as reports had been filed from the gates as the story developed. Of course the story wasn’t actually at Buckingham Palace until 4 or 5 days later so the UK broadcasters, who remained in their studios as the story unfolded on the day itself, then looked towards anchoring from up in Scotland rather than at the Palace.

Brisbane getting delayed “live crosses” about the soccer this morning. Pointless when you know it’s an hour behind.

Watching such extensive conversation about the game at 7.36 when we know it’s all over. Only really relevant to Sydney and Melbourne audiences.

Maybe you can lobby Queensland to get Daylight Saving

Omg… don’t even go there.
Who would most likely be watching the football live over on SBS if they had any interest.

The Sunrise program and all news programs should be live into Queensland regardless of there being daylight saving or not.

So people have to wake up an hour earlier to watch?

And what happens at 8:10am? Switch the TMS?
Good in theory to be live everywhere but logistical and competition nightmare.
A quick look online tells me the sun went up at 4.45am in Brisbane this morning. 4.30am local start in Queensland is not out of the question if people are getting up when the sun rises.
Viewership’s also going to be lower for the first hour or so across all states anyways, so they’d still get strong numbers later into the morning.
Delayed television is unacceptable in this social media era. Simply can’t compete if you can find live news elsewhere.

And that elsewhere is ABC News where it’s live around the country. My family in QLD switches to News Breakfast on ABC News when Sunrise isn’t live.

You could put on some kind of filler content for that hour but being live is more important. That filler content doesn’t need to be until mid afternoon as the morning show also has news content that should not be delayed. If it starts at 8am Queensland time I don’t see that as a problem for 6 months of the year as long as the program is broadcast live or if Sunrise starts at 4:30am local time. Or you could have a local program until 6 and then take Sunrise live that’s what a lot of CBS stations do in markets of a similar size like Denver.
But for the fact you end up with premium 7am-hour content in you 6am block.
Last year’s experiment with local news inserts works, with a bit of tidying up with the transitions. Bianca Stone did a great job with it. In fact it should be year round.

I don’t understand why they do it during live programming and stop for delayed.
